My New Business..

I have 'bit the bullet' (so to speak) and signed up to begin selling Premier Designs Jewelry. I am very excited about this, and really believe that it is going to be a life changing experience for myself and my family. I'm looking forward to all the jewelry coming in, the parties that I'll be putting on, and the new friends and family that come with Premier. I'm so pumped!! I am expecting my start-up package of literature and jewelry to arrive later this week, and my Premier "Mama", Mary Jo, says it's gonna be like Christmas.

I am planning my training show for Oct. 11th and after that date, I can have a party for YOU!! We have some of the BEST incentives for hostessing a Home Show. For example: you earn 30% of your sales in FREE jewelry, some half off items, and bonus bucks for doing simple things such as having your party on the original booked date and/or haivng 10 people show up at your house for the party.

Leave a comment, email me at premierlady@hotmail.com, or call me and I'll be happy to give you some info. on how easy it is for you to earn FREE JEWELRY!! No pressure.

Happy Anniversary to us!!

This is NOT our best picture over the years, but all that I have of just us 2 here at work. We were at the end of a long, hot, sweaty day at Sea World!!

At 4:00 in the afternoon on September 16, 2000 I married my best friend! We've stood beside one another through alot of crazy happenings.. We have picked on each other, laughed together, and cried together. In these 8 years of marital bliss, we have had two children of our own. We have had (and still have) our fair share of health issues. We've scared each other quit a bit..

All this said, at the end of a less than perfect stressful day, Jamie is the one that I run to. I can't wait to talk to or see him EVERYday. We are pals! I tell him all my problems, and bless his heart, he's trying to be a better listener rather than a judge!

Jamie, I love you more today than I did 8 years ago. and YES, you have to stay with me for many more years to come!! I can't beleive either of us are married, much less for 8 whole years!! HAHA!!

Another thing, as I'm listening to this song on the radio:
(there are many days that I DO feel this way.)
'I don't know much, but I know I love you. And that may be all I need to know!!!'

The only guys in the bunch of GIRLS...

These guys are really gonna LOVE this problem in a few years....
The lonesome three: 'Little' Wade Jenkins, Bowen, and Hunter Martin.
Thanks for being such good sports!

More festivities..

One of the advantages to a summer birthday.. we were able to utilize the play house set, run the Jeep and Gator until the were both dead, feed the goats, jump in the Sponge Bob thingy that we have acquired over the years (thanks Trevino's) and play kick ball and t-ball!! Oh, and just plain RUN, RUN, RUN!!

Karley's 5th Birthday Party

Here's a few shots from Karley's Hannah Montana birthday party this past weekend. She got lots of cool stuff and of course, had a little help from Bentlee, Bowen and Ashlyn. Funny how most of Karley's party pics for 5 years have Bentlee in them!! Love it! We had Hannah, Rebecca, Leah, Bentlee, Rylee, Savannah, Hunter, Wade, Bowen, Emi, Ashlyn, Alexis, and Ashley & Arielle(the best babysitters!)..I hop eI didn't leave anyone out. Thanks to all of you for spending your Sunday afternoon with us!

Our long weekend

Well, as I posted earlier, our weekend was FULL of presents and family time. The house was full at mealtimes and the yard was full the rest of the times. I loved it! Totally loaded with family all weekend. Sunday was busy running the roads with church and Emi's 5th Birthday Party.
Yesterday, after seeing the Georgia bound crowd off, we decided to get our hunting licenses and go Dove Hunting. That was a load of fun! We packed up the kids and the truck and headed off to meet up with the Good Old Fellas from OT Hunting Club for the Annual first day of dove hunting season gathering! We chatted and laughed ALL day long. We grilled hot dogs and ate junk food all day long.
I even took my turn shooting the doves. I do jump at every chance at 'gunning', but NEVER in a million years thought I'd even come close to hitting a target as small as a bird. And I did get one!! Yipee!

We had a ball! The kids LOVED it. Hopefully, we'll make this an Annual Bryant Family Day! Now, our blood is pumping as we wait for deer season!!

Happy 5th Birthday, 'Tally-Ann'!!

As I sit here, I remember going for a 'routine' check up on Sept. 2nd in Franklin and Dr. Dougherty telling me to go home and get Jamie and meet him back in the ER to induce labor. Well, it was actually about 5-5:30 that evening..

26 hours later at 8:06 pm on the evening of September 3rd 2003, with tons of family and friends waiting anxiously (and one HUGE dog!),and ALOT of troubles, Jamie and I sat in the Operating Room and welcomed our healthy baby girl. Jamie named her that very moment and all the staff immediately began calling her Karley! Not exactly the way we had visioned or planned to do this! But we all know about plans!!

Our little 'peanut' was 6 pounds 10 ounces and 19 and 1/4 inches long. I was SO exhausted, I fell asleep in the OR while they stiched me up. After I cried my eyes out and vomited like crazy...Our lives forever changed that evening. I'll spare ya'll ALL the details...

So, tomorrow, my first born Karley Breann will be 5 years old! Here's to you baby girl. Mama & Daddy love you bunches!!

Karley's Gifts

Granny & Grandaddy once again went overboard with Karley's Birthday presents. She got a Princess TV/DVD for her room,Hannah Montana bedside table, Hannah Montana lamp,Hannah Montana pillow, Hannah Montana trash can, a Bratz doll and tons of other little things. Okay, so now Jamie and I don't know how she'll feel about the 4 or 5 items we're giving her..... no comparison! All of our family spoil her and Bowen.. We are VERY blessed to have such awesome family! Thanks Granny & Grandaddy for yet another wonderful Birthday weekend!!

When...

$300.00 can easily be justified....




Just look at his face.. think he likes it??
Jamie's mama and step-daddy came in this past weekend to celebrate Karley's birthday, and decided to go ahead and give Bowen this Gator for his birthday, which isn't until October 28th. Bowen getting a riding John Deere of any kind was long overdue.. He LOVES John Deere's!!
